A CarniyerOuS Cow.

In Montana, the land of peculiarities
and novelties unsurpassed, ANYTHING is
creditable, but surely one may express
surprise without LAYING oneself open to
the title of tenderfoot. With this brief
preface we will proceed to introduce to
to the public carniverous COW. The
story is unimpeachable and was heard
at second hand. Deputy Sheriff Davis
has had occasion to visit the neighbor-
hood of Box Elder, recently, and was
shown COW that was fed all through
last winter.on Jack rabbits and sage hens
The COW is the property of Mr.. Kelly,
foreman for the Hedges outfit, who. to.
gether with his wife, resides on the
Box Elder. Mr. Davis was incredulous
when Kelly first related the strange
fodder upon which one of their animals
had suhsisted last winter, but when Mrs.
Kelly added her testimony he could
not go back on the returns. 1t will be
remembered that the snow was very
deep, the grass very short, but the
crop of jack rabbits and sage hens
was remarkable. This COW was being
MIXED by the Kelly family during the
winter, and one day Kelly noticed that
she was devouring with avidity and a
good appetite lot of scraps of cooked
meat that had been thrown out, and
merely as an experiment he gave her a
boiled sage hen, which she disposed Of
with evident relish. He then hit upon
plan for feeding that COW which
breaks all previous records. Every day
he wonld kill a number of the fowls and
jack rabbits and boil them pretty well,
took out most of the bones and mixing
the meat and pot liquor together made a
sort of a soup which WAS dished up fol
the COW, who regularly, mnrnin. and
evening. came ar,und for the diet, after
eating which she would disappear on the
range for vegetable aeconipaninents.-

Not All Harmonious.

ST. PAUL. Oct. l2.-[Special to the Inde-
pendent. There is an impression here
that the relations of the directors of the
Northern Pacific are not as pleasant as
they might be. There seems to be a
dispute as to the number of shares cast
by each party. Mr.. Willard addressed a
letter to the editor of the Daily Ledger
at Tacoma, in which he expresses his
regret that c. B. Wright has composed
and published certain dispatch, as it is
a curious reflection of the inner harmony
which the late annual election would
promote in the Northern Pacific board.
The letter alludes to telegram which
Mr.. Wright sent to the editor, giving the
official figures made by the inspector Of
the Northern Pacific election. Willard,
in commenting upon the telegram, says
"By document in writing signed by
the Oregon Transcontinental company
and all other parties representing the
so-called opposition, and shown by my
self to Wright, was authorized to cast
the vote of the entire stock controlled
by them all, viz: S42,43O shares in all
1 cast 365, ,799 shares, instead of 1863, fol
which Mr.. Wright gives me credit.
am indeed proud to say that not single
share of the stock represented by me
at the election was my personal proper.

A Faithful Newspaper Reader.

WASHINGTON, Oct. G.-Ex Postmaster
General Creswell, now retired from war
and politics and devoting himself to
finance and the bank of which he is
president. tells of boyhood friend of
his-now man of sixty two-who
affords, probably, the most perfect ex-
ample Of lifelong devotion to one par
ticular newspaper that the country can
produce. Richard F. May, now a we'll
to-do merchant of Bozeman. Montana, is
the man. What the Koran is to the
Mohammedan devotee that is the Trib-
une to this clear. headed old gentleman.
He has taken it from the first date of its
publication. He reads it every day
from the first column of European news
to the last advertisement on the last
page. He reads nothing else, and he
never doubts the truth and accuracy of
every item. He was born in Elkton,
Cecil County, Maryland, which is also
General Creswells home and birth place.
His vote was one of the half-dozen cast
in Maryland for Fremont. He was one
of the 800 who voted for Lincoln at his
first election in the same State. From
the day he transferred his allegiance
from the dying whig organization to the
youthful party of Republicanism he has
never voted for any but straight party
candidate. He has made fortunes and
lost them, but the Tribune has been his
only guide in financial matters as well as
his authority in news and politics. Now
he is on the top of fortunes wheel again
and is on his first eastern trip in many
years. When in Elktoh the other day
he told General Cseswell that he was
going on to New York to see the sights.
"IIow will you get around with no one
to show you about?" asked the General,
"Oh, I'll find it all in the Tribune"

est confidence. lie used to be a great
reader, but he says that now he finds as
much of the best light literature of the

| When General Creswell asked him how
he regarded the Tribune OF to-day in
comparison with that of former years,
this faithful reader replied:
"Oh we'll, Mr.. Greeley had an incisive
way of saying things, of course, bnt the
paper as whole to-day is a great i'm
provement on the one he issued. 1t is
much broader in its scope and the many
departments are each more ably edited"

Wyoming.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1.-THE governor of
Wyoming territory, in his annual report
to the secretary of the interior, states
that, contrary to a prevalent belief the
territory is adapted for farming purposes
as well as lor stock raising. The COVER
nor estimates the population at 5000.
Owing TO the fact that railroad lands are
assessed this year for the first time, the
taxable values exceed those of last year
by over 81 ,000,0OO. For the ten months
ending June 30th, 100000 acres of public
lands were taken up. The governor
notes the decadence of the cattle bust
ness as compared with former years, and
says that the hard winters and scarcity
of food is bringing about the result of
confining the cattle more to one locality
where they can be sheltered and fed
during the winter. The governor recon-
mends the erection of three new land

Dropped Dead.

Judge Elicit of Memphis, Tenn, drop
ped dead last Saturday, upon the conclu
sion of his address of welcome to the
President. The Judges body was car.
ried TO his home and his sudden death
kept from the knowledge of the Presi-
dent while he was in Memphis. Judge
Elicit first presented Mr.. Cleveland with
the symbolital freedom of the city. Then
addressing the President, he continued
eloquently: you have recently patti
cipated in a celebration of the one
hundredth anniversary of the formation
OF the constitution of the United States,
and you have beleld mltitu,.es of our
fellow countrymen focking from every
direction to the spot where that instru-
ment was fashioned, and renewing their
VOWS of fealty ut the shrine ofthat grand
est monument of human vision. Let
me say, sir, that the southern heart was
in full sympathy with that interesting
occasion, and that nowhere in this broad
land will You find more legal fealty to
the constitution of the United States and
to the government created by it than
among the people of the southern states.
Difference of opinion as to its true theory
and proper construction in some points,
existed from its very creation, and the
controversy has often been angry and
bitter. One great and important interest
in the progress of things became section
allied, and out of it arose question of
constitutional Interpretation, which was
regarded by the southern people as so
vital to their right and interests that
they committed their solution to the
arbitration of aims; but Mr.. President,
they have lowed to the stern logic of
events, until they have in frank and
manly way accepted the result of the
struggle as a final settlement of all the
the questions in dispute, and they have
since labored with rare courage, fortitude
and cheerfulness to accommodate them-
selves to their new conditions, to re.
construct their broken fortunes, and 10
contribute as far as possible to the gem
eral prosperity and happiness of the
whole country. As one practical result
accomplished by the conflict, the theory
OF the right of a state to withdraw from
the federal compact was oyrrthrnwn, and
the indestructibility of the American
union was established on the iirmest
foundation. The chief element of the
discord has been removed forever, and
though questions will continue to arise
about which men may differ earnestly, it
is settled beyond appeal that for all the
abuses that may arise from the action of
the general government, the remedy
must hereafter be sought within the pale
of the union and under the forms of the
established law. The speaker closed
with graceful tribute to Mrs. Cleveland.

Free Trade.

The reduction of internal revenue and
the taking off of revenue stamps from
Proprietary Medicines, no doubt has
largely benefited the consumers, as well
as relieving the burden of home manu-
facturers. Especially is this the case
with Green's August Flower and Bos-
chee's German Syrup, as the reduction Of
thirty-slx cents per dozen, has been adj
ded to increase the size Of the bottles con.
tanning these remedies, thereby giving
one.filh more medicine in the 70 cent
size. The August Flower for Dyspepsia
and Liver Complaint, and the German
Syrup for Cough and Lung troubles, have
perhaps, the largest sale of any medicines
in the world. The advantage of in
creased size of the bottles will be
greatly appreciated by the sick and af-
fiicted, in every town and village in
civilized countries. Sample bottles for
10 cents remain the same size.

Our Idea OF Raising Wheat.

We have watched the various theories
and tried many different ways to raise a
good crop of wheat, and have settled up-
on the following theory: l. Plow soon
after harvest, let your plow well in to
the ground, take pains to keep your fur
row stnght and turn evenly. 2. Roll
with short heavy rollers as fast as you
can plow. before dragging. you would
do good job, roll within six hours after
blowing for then the ground is soft and
will rack rapidly and much tirmer than
if allowed to stand two or three days.
The idea being that the highest point of
the furrow il precisely over the loosest
point underneath. thus packing the
ground evenly, then cross-drag with
spring tooth. and again as soon as you
get n rain, though it be late in the fall,
roll again lengthwise of the furrow and
leave for spring, then go on with your
seeder and follow with a spring tooth
drag once over and leave it, and you will
be surprised at the result. All, l hear
you say; have not time to do all that,
Then you have too much land under cul-
tivation for your team. If you would
raise big crop, prepare your land IN the
fall.
1t costs no more to harvest good or ,p
than poor one You can harvest and
thresh a good crop much cheaper per
bushel than poor one. THERE'S no
question that the yield of wheat can be
increased 20 to so per cent by thorough
work in the preparation OF the soil,
which should be done in the fall, the
point being to pack the ground thorough
" just below the surface, thus holding
the moisture where the roots of the
plants can draw from it. The plan usual
ly adopted is to the root the surface after
seeding, thus leaving the ground loose
underneath and paching the extreme
surface, this draws the moisture to the
surface and allows the atmosphere to
evaporate it. We would like to see the
farmers try trip through their fields
this year and watch the result.-Putney
Messenger.

Washington, October 8.-The secretary
of the interior has received through the

surgeon of that territory, relating to the
disease known as ''glandcrs" existing
among horses within the Grow rpserya.
ton, and also letter from Indian agent
Williamson on the tame subject. The
veterinarian SAWS that after making an
investigation of the character of the
disease, during which several chronic
clses Of FLANDERS were discovered, and
the animals destroyed, he is fully salts.
fled that the disease prevails to limit
ed extent among the horses on the
reservation, and says that he regards it
as most important that steps be taken to
stamp out the disease whilst it is in its
incipiency. The Indian agent joins the
veterinarian in urging the immediate
action. and asks that provisions be made
to recompense the Indians for affected
horses killed. He says that the Indians
are not alarmed at the presence of this
disease amongst their animals, as its
symptoms so much resemble "ihe dis
temper" with which their horses have
always been more or less affected, and
are unwilling to kill the diseased ones,
except upon promise Of compensation.
The commissioner Of agriculture recon-
mends that as the bureau of animal in
dustry has no jurisdiction within the
reservation, the interior department
takes suck steps as are necessary to cause
the destruction Of the affected horses in
order to prevent the spread of the dis
ease, and to protect the lives of the
people as well as the animals of the ad
joining states and territories.
